Easthaven Wader fest

Waders in abundance near Craigmill Burn mouth, Easthaven. I'd estimate around 140 birds with good numbers of Sanderlings and Turnstones. The Whimbrel was just too far away and didn't like the dog walkers who'd arrived in numbers after a morning of rain.



Whimbrel near Easthaven very wary due to walkers, another two flew north at high tide
